2018 Discovery Sport - 240hp diesel
My Dad's looking at one - were these afflicted by the same oil change issues as 2018 Discovery's?
He's getting pricing on a March 2018 one from the dealer with 5k miles on it, and a brand new 2019 stock car.
Keen to know if both have "safe" engines to buy!
Thanks...

The early oil change issues were on the TDV6 3Ltr, not the 240BHp 4 pot ingenium engines
Al
Now gone - D5 HSE 2Ltr in Corris with black roof, black & dynamic packs & 22" black alloys, a bit of a change after 2 D3's and 2 D4's

Mav on discosport says his 240 is fine for oil dilution, others disagree. not many around to get a fair sample.
Mines a DS180 does around 11000 on a change, otherwise its a fine car. Being a 2017 I get fee oil changes not sure about 2018's thats down to negotiation powers.
brand new Id go for the petrol personally

The DS 240hp engine seems a safe bet, but its not a car I would personally buy and I’ve had two in the past, including a 2018 one.
They suffer from B pillar rattles, rusted rear brakes, paint defects, dodgy electrics, throttle lag and a whole multitude of other problems. I just wouldn’t take the risk. Pick a Volvo XC40/60.

Well he's gone for one - and a very nicely spec'd HSE LUX too.
Just one question, which is the forum I should suggest he join, from the same people who run Disco5.co.uk. I can't see one listed at the bottom of the homepage, and the ones which come up via Google search... well, I can't tell if I'm finding the "right" one...?

Maybe he should do a search and pop in to the different forums, however there really is only one
https://www.discosportforums.co.uk but beware, the majority have had problems with their Disco Sport and are very vocal about it.

There's a post somewhere (might be on disco4.com) where Martin explained he doesn't run a disco sport forum as another had beaten him to it. I'll see if I can find it.

Ahhhh, so that's why I didn't recognise the "style" of the other forums...!
OK, if they are overly negative, I'll keep off them.
He's got himself a lovely looking black/black 2019 HSE LUX, so fingers crossed he'll be lucky.

Don’t bother with this forum. It’s mostly dictated by a few very negative users with big chips on their shoulders. Once joined you’d wish you’d never bought a DS.

That official sister site to this for Disco Sport is just full of spammer content - all the posts are junk... Surprised it's still live!

A bit late to help influence, but I recently ran a DS 240 HSE LUX for 12k miles and it was great (my third DS). Only issue was a transmission fluid leak but in a combined 56k across all three it was the only thing that went wrong.
Performance wise it wasn't helped by me trading down from a 300 bhp F-Pace 😎 but when compared to the 180 bhp courtesy DS I had it was a noticeable step in oomph. MPG differed by about 2 mpg max so no great issue there either.
